Time with Play and Learn

I don’t remember if I was nervous when I first got to Ghana to work with Play and Learn. I know that after spending 5 months with the Play and Learn kids and volunteers I am so sad to leave. It’s really hard to put into words how amazing this time has been. Hope the photos help.

That's me..my first week there. Around this field is so familiar - like a second home

I have been taking pictures and making videos for PAL. This has been a great way to see firsthand all the learning sessions and football practices. Photography is such a fun way to see everything. I am a shy person, but having the camera is a good way for me and the kids to open up.

Have to get back before they grow up too fast!

I am constantly impressed by everyones dedication to the foundation. So much progress has been made within my time here. I have been given such an opportunity to grow and learn through time with the foundation.

I think it is common that new volunteers are nervous and may not know what to expect. Once you immerse yourself and meet the kids, there’s no denying the connections you will make with the kids and PAL’s vision.

My last day with the kids :(
but I know I'll be back

I am already ready to start planning my next trip back. I want to keep working and helping PAL far into the future. I am excited to see the heights this dream will reach.
